This game proves that unequivocally, the ghost runner in extras has to end.

I hate it. Unless you score twice in the top of the 10th, it's basically impossible to win in extras on the road. At least have the 10th innings played normally. Maybe add the runner in the 11th and beyond.

Coming into this season: "Home teams went 113-103 in extra-inning games last year and are 262-263 in extra innings since the runner on second rule started in 2020, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Home teams were 312-294 in extra-inning games from 2017-19."

The ghost runner stops games from going 15 and 16 innings and destroying a bullpen. Both teams get the exact same advantage.

It only sucks when we lose because of it! :D

Wow, that's interesting. I feel like the common logic has been what interloper said, that it favors the home team, but home teams have actually done slightly worse since the rule. I wonder if there's anything behind that or if it's just a bit of randomness, as all those records are close to .500 anyway.

As the visiting team, the 2nd run is HUGE. When we scored the first run in the T 10th, with a Mateo's speed on 2nd and no outs, we should have sold out to advance that runner to 3rd.

That means pinch hitting McKenna for Mountcastle and laying down a bunt.

That's honestly surprising to me, but point well taken. It just feels like, if you don't score in the top of the 10th, all it takes is a bunt and a fly ball to walk-off. Or to tie if you manage to score one. So as soon as the O's didn't score again in the 11th, I knew it was over. You really only have one shot as the away team, realistically.

But they didn't lose it in the 11th. They had another chance in the 12th.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
